How to overcome “motivational inertia”?

Hey HN,

when i am coding i rarely want to stop.

When i am not it takes extreme discipline to do so, especially outside of work. I had less day-to-day coding at work for some time now due to responsibility changes so i feel that i need to step it up in my spare time.

How do you overcome this kind of inertia?

Once i overcome the hurdle (usually 30 minutes or so) i enjoy coding a lot and i can not identify why it takes such willpower to get to that point.
